Please no, I like having both stores in town

Since I moved to Central, I never go to Cabela's. I like 'em both, though.

I hope it doesn't happen. Cabelas hunting and clothing products are superior to Red Head and bass pro has the better fishing selection.

Anyone shop at the Sportsmans Warehouse in Slidell? They're putting one here, I have mixed feelings on the matter.

So if I'm understanding this correctly, Bass Pro is looking at buying Cabela's?

That's what I gathered from reading the article. looks like Cabela's is looking for buyers.
ETA: Maybe enough of us can scrap some cash together? I'm good for about tree fiddy.

Haha, my pockets are pretty shallow right now. I think I've spent enough at bass pro that I should at least be a board member, so maybe I can tug on some strings. lmao!!
Not sure how I feel about that. I like having both. I do most of my shopping at Bass Pro, and I like the redhead brand. But there are things at Cabela's that I think are much better than Bass Pro, and there are certain things that I go there for over Bass Pro.
Maybe they will buy them but retain all of the stores. Keep them as separate entities, but owned by the same company. I don't see how that could be a bad thing.

If the bargain cave goes away, I will break shite.

I can't go in there. It's like I'm at a garage sale. Makes my eyes hurt.

I shop at them both, but I prefer Cabela's

Hope they keep both stores open if it happens. Cabela's has a much better shooting/ reloading selection than Bass Pro.
Posted on 11/5/15 at 1:45 pm to AlxTgr
Depends on what kind of shopping mood I am in.

Well frick my life. Cabelas hunting clothes will now go to shite.

Best post of the day

Also, I can almost always find the ammo that I'm looking for at Cabela's. Not so much at BP
